Homeschool Curriculum Exchange: Online marketplace for learning materials
This is an online marketplace where people can buy, sell, and share learning materials of all sorts across all grade levels. This marketplace has a wide range of resources being shared, and one can easily search for whatever it is that best suits his or her needs with the search bar. The administrators of this Facebook group created this marketplace for people to share learning materials cheaply and efficiently. It consists of a community of people who seek the same goal: enhancing their students' and children's learning. Parents can join the Facebook group and then search or scroll for learning materials and resources that they are looking for. Once they have found something they're interested in, they can message the seller and arrange payment/shipping details. Parents themselves can sell materials in the Facebook group as well. This Facebook group is a good way to safely obtain new learning materials for students/children at lower prices as well as sell old/unwanted learning materials. Parents may be skeptical of buying from or selling to strangers.
Grades: All grade levels
Cost: Browsing this marketplace is free. The resources themselves vary in price depending on the seller.
